Isaac Leib Goldberg (Hebrew: יצחק לייב גולדברג, 7 February 1860 – 14 September 1935)[1] was a Zionist leader and philanthropist in both Ottoman Palestine and the Russian Empire, and one of the principal founders of Rishon LeZion, the first Zionist settlement founded in the Land of Israel by the New Yishuv. An early member of the Hovevei Zion movement (1882), he also founded the Ohavei Zion society.[2] Goldberg was a delegate to the First Zionist Congress and the founder of two Hebrew newspapers, Ha'aretz (today Israel's oldest daily newspaper) and Ha'am.[3]
